Answer 1

-Eye contact-give eye contact to gorup as often as possible-reading off cue cards will make you seem nervous and unprepared!

-Choose a topic YOU have an interest in-this way you'll find it easier and more comfortable and will have more knowledge.

-Have imagines or items to show people

-Have quotes to back up any 'opinions' you have. Eg: Statistics from___say that __% of people think_________

-Stand up, wear something you feel comfortable and confident in-nothing worse than feeling people are looking at your clothes, your hair etc!

-Smile and say thank you at the end!
